You’re up already?
It’s the crack of dawn
Your brother’s still sleeping
Did you just yawn?
Eat your breakfast
It’s good for you
Go get dressed
And tie your shoes
When you potty
Close the door
I wish you’d hold
My hand some more
Say you’re sorry
Hurry up
Flush the toilet
Feed the pup
How many times
Do I have to say…?
It’s a parking lot
Don’t run away!
Give me a kiss
That’s right, not left
Turn down the tv
Or you’ll go deaf
When you have a stick
Don’t run around
Stop touching things
That were on the ground
Be a nice boy
But, toughen up
You’re too old
For a sippy cup
I love you
To the Moon and Back
Three days away
Ten bags to pack?
Wipe the seat
Pick up your room
Tom & Jerry is
A bad cartoon
Is it nap time yet?
Is Daddy home?
You’re both good kids
But leave me alone
How ’bout a movie?
A snack? A game?
Marbles? Dominos?
It’s all the same
Eat your dinner,
The peas and all
Don’t climb the couch
You’re bound to fall
Go slow on stairs
But quick to bed
I need a hug,
You sleepy head.
Sweet Dreams, young men
Sweet Dreams, sleep tight
I love you so.
My boys, Good Night.

I wrote this in the spirit of a YouTube video I remember from a few years ago. Although I may not have had my own children at the time, I thought this woman’s William Tell Overture was awesome. Today, I love it even more. Enjoy.
